Skills Training, Friendship, Community Development, and Employment Opportunities for Refugee and Immigrant Women in Charlotte, North Carolina

Make Welcome offers free sewing classes for refugee and immigrant women in Charlotte, NC. Our beautiful, light-filled classroom at the Project 658 Center is a haven for women who have endured the trauma of flight from their home countries and the difficulties of resettling in a new home. We are compelled by the love of Christ to care for our neighbors in hands-on, practical service.

For students who desire employment, we are working hard to increase employment opportunities through both stay-at-home manufacturing and small batch crafted production.

Make Welcome is a community development and social enterprise program of Project 658, a holistic, Christ-centered non-profit working with refugee, immigrant, and at-risk families in Charlotte, NC. Our aim is to restore hope by fostering sustainable solutions for families. For more information about Project 658, please visit our website.
